Bred for improved hardiness down to -5 Celsius, this bold and architectural perennial Digitalis adds real drama to both a mixed border and statement planter. Reliably repeat flowering throughout the summer, it is a veritable bee magnet too, bulking up quickly into large clumps of flowering stems that cut well for arrangements. It performs best in a fertile soil enriched with organic matter in part shade, but can tolerate most other situations or soils except very wet or free draining.

Digitalis x valinii 'Firebird' was awarded 2nd place in the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show Plant of the Year competition
